The Story ---
"The Rhyming Little Mermaid" by Joshua David Ling is a spellbinding poetic retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairytale. This version focuses on the yearning of the mermaid, Serena, to experience the surface world and gain an immortal soul, and her love for Prince Silas.
As Serena swims through the vast ocean, she dreams of the world above, of walking on two legs and exploring all that the surface has to offer. She longs for the chance to experience the joys of being human, including the gift of an immortal soul.
Driven by her insatiable curiosity, Serena makes the fateful decision to trade her tail for legs and venture to the surface. As she begins to explore the human world, she is enchanted by its wonders and captivated by its people. But she soon discovers that the cost of her transformation is greater than she ever imagined.
As Serena grapples with the consequences of her choices, she must decide whether the price of her newfound humanity is worth what she lost. Will she be able to find the everlasting life she seeks, or will she be forever trapped in a world that she does not truly belong to?
Through its beautiful and haunting rhymes, "The Rhyming Little Mermaid" invites readers to join Serena on a journey of discovery and transformation. This enchanting retelling will leave you captivated by the mermaid's longing for a life beyond the sea, and her search for the true meaning of immortality.
